New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

web streaming come on a bit since i last watched one of these

don't think i saw the last one, but i definitely saw the 2000 and 2001 ones

woz = dude

streaming quality is surprisingly good. speech is kinda dry, but i usually just read recaps of these speeches rather than watch them live

ok the new shuffle is cute

rip last.fm

Yeah, eek

iPod classic is an unperson.

Ping looks like a halfway mash of Last.fm. They haven't shot iTunes in the head yet either

xps

actually, this looks p. good

MORE functionality in itunes

got rid of CD in logo though so there's that

guess itv refused to blink

Won't this Ping™ thing only work with Official Legit RIAA-approved Non-Pirated iTunes Content™, though?

unless they refuse to make it work with CDs you rip yourself, i don't see how they can restrict it like that, assuming they'd want to

kept notes in logo though, p. good way to describe movies, tv shows, books, apps, iTunes U, photos, podcasts, iOS updates, syncing, and locking up

no way a social network for music will ever be popular

well that was fun

I'm a bit disappointed that there isn't going to be a new large-capacity iPod Touch. I had been holding out for a 120GB version.

Seconded. I refuse to pick and choose what albums I can carry around with me. I need all of them goddamnit.

Hells yeah.

So, is that the end of the Classic then?

no, it's still up

I still don't understand why anybody would buy the AppleTV thing, though it's nice that it's smaller and cheaper, it just doesn't make any sense to me. As a device it seems practically purposeless.

The new nano is kind of ugly & makes the touch look much more compelling. Still nothing has really come along here yet that's exciting enough to get me to give up on my slightly broken second generation nano :(

The AppleTV is like the simplest thing ever, I say "I want to watch the new episode of House" or "I want to see that one episode of some old show" and a few remote clicks and a couple bucks later, there it is.

I download a lot of content from Teh BitTorrentz, and if I want to watch it on my TV, now I can just stream it onto an AppleTV box instead of worrying about syncing anything, or putting it onto some PS3 compatible format (CD, DVD, flash drive, etc.)

you could also stream it directly to your computer or run it off your own hard drive

*directly from

ya if u have a ps3 and that's what u want it for, u really odn't need this

um, you can stream practically anything onto a PS3 using TVersity, Orb or PS3 Media Server

you can stream it onto a ps3

yeah media link on ps3 makes appleTV redundant

that's pretty much the main thing I use my ps3 for nowadays

what we're saying is, you can stream to ps3, so you don't need this

in case that wasn't clear

oh also ps3 yes? appletv no!

what's the easitest ps3 streamer? will it work outside local network? I know two dudes with ps3s who've never got this working properly.

dude, you DON'T. NEED. APPLE. TV.

I got it to work with TVersity after about 30 minutes of fiddling with firewall settings

I know two dudes with ps3s who've never got this working properly.

AppleTV's prime market imo

hey you can just stream directly from your ps3!!!

*directly to

TVersity and PS3 Media Server don't work on Mac OSX, MediaLink I already have the trial for. The other reason is that it's more likely that Apple's box will have direct access to Hulu content before PS3 does. (I'm not paying $100+ a year for a Playstation Plus subscription, thanks.)

(and before any of you say PLAYON MEDIA SERVER, that doesn't run on Mac either.)

PS3 Media Server works great on OSX, no idea wtf you mean.

Also, AppleTV will have access to Hulu on the second of never, but you can already hack Hulu to work on a PS3 if you stick a http proxy in-between to change the browser user agent, afaik

I love the simplicity of the new apple tv. I would totally get it but I already have a HTPC that I can do all of that already.

wait, if i have apple tv do i need a ps3?

yeah ps3 media server works like a peach on osx
